Group:
For those who've tried/discovered new (previously unfamiliar) or American p=
ersimmon cultivars, what are your new or same favorites now?
If you list favorites, please list some other cultivars that you are famili=
ar with but have been, in your opinion, surpassed
This year - thanks to Mr. Jerry Lehman, I found these - in total - to be my=
 favorite cultivars:

Morris Burton - sweetest, however juicy and simple nectar-sweet and small (=
not as small as most wild, though)
Mitchellena ['Lena] - love the blend of colors/flavors: pink, red, orange, =
yellow - flavor it outstanding
Yates - still a favorite due to size and grainy texture is appreciated here
Wabash - very different then all others - small red fruit, "dark" complex f=
lavor - sort of rem. of coffee and rum
J59 is pretty big and has good color



Others I'm familiar with:

Meader - comparatively not that great; WAY BETTER than the wild ones, thoug=
h
Szukis - pretty good
Knightsville & seedling - not that impressed, maybe another year?
Mohler - not that great
Others..




Steve
